Clover is a genuinely capable all-in-one POS. If you want one connected system that runs your register, inventory, employees, and reporting, with a large app marketplace to add features, Clover does that well. For a business that wants a full POS ecosystem and is comfortable with the hardware and software commitment, Clover may be the right fit, and we’ll tell you so.
The multi-year contract, the early termination fee, and the hardware locked to Clover are the opposite of how we work. AllProPay has no contracts and no cancellation fees, offers Dual Pricing, interchange-plus, or AllPro Rebate, whichever fits your business, so you see the real cost, and doesn’t lock your hardware. We put the real number in front of you, give you a person to call, and help you switch without downtime.
Send us one recent statement. We’ll show you exactly what you pay now and whether switching makes sense. If it doesn’t, we’ll tell you that too.
